Answer 2

Hi Vilas,

Thanks for your post. Please understand that C drive space will decrease with your device usage even if you do not install any programs/games because windows uses C drive to install OS updates as well as for temporary files and other user data too. This includes logs/Onedrive and Office files if you create any. Any downloads, data that you keep on the desktop. Recycle bin space is taken from C drive too so all that will reduce the space no your C drive and this is normal. You can run disk cleanup from time to time by searching for it on the search bar on your desktop and it will tell you what temporary files are taking up how much storage and you can then (depending on what you wish to clean) clear up some space.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue
